What kinds of organizations does Prosperity Now fund?

It funds organizations working on financial security, housing and homeownership, child and family financial support, entrepreneurship and small business support, tax opportunity and VITA services, and financial coaching and behaviorally informed savings. Recent grantees also include community development and economic mobility organizations serving underserved populations.

What is Prosperity Now’s typical grant size?

The typical grant size is $13,125 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. Its recent portfolio also includes much larger mission-support grants, but the middle of the distribution sits in the low tens of thousands.

Does Prosperity Now award recurring grants to the same organizations?

Yes. Pacific Community Ventures appears multiple times across 2023 and 2025, and Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc appears in 2023 and 2024. That pattern suggests ongoing support for some recipients rather than one-off awards.

How does Prosperity Now fund tax preparation access?

Through the VITA Support Fund, Prosperity Now and the Wells Fargo Foundation provide grants to certified Volunteer Income Tax Assistance programs and organizations that directly support VITA operations. The program’s grant size is $5,000 to $20,000 and it is national in scope.

How broad is Prosperity Now’s geographic giving?

Its geographic scope is national, and the recipient-country distribution shows all recent grants went to U.S. organizations. Illinois is the top state by grant count, while 17% of grants go to recipients in Washington, DC.

About Prosperity Now

Prosperity Now’s largest recent grant was $5,491,647 to Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc in 2024, a mission-and-reach award aimed at underserved populations. That scale sits alongside a broader portfolio that supports organizations working on financial security, housing and homeownership, child and family financial support, entrepreneurship, tax opportunity, and financial coaching. The foundation uses grants, program-related investments, and partnership-based initiatives to back organizations that help people build prosperity. Its recent recipients include Pacific Community Ventures, which received $1,909,214 in 2025 and $500,000 in 2023, and Entrepreneur Ready Inc, which received $1,900,000 in 2023. Those awards indicate a pattern of repeated support for organizations working in economic mobility and small business support. Prosperity Now also funds community-focused intermediaries and service organizations that serve low-income and marginalized communities, often through mission expansion, outreach, and service access. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor organizations positioned to extend tools, research, and resources to communities that are often left out of mainstream financial systems.

What Prosperity Now Funds

Financial security and economic mobility are central to Prosperity Now’s recent grantmaking. Metropolitan Economic Development Association received $480,438 in 2024 and $160,000 in 2023, both for promoting the organization’s mission and expanding reach to underserved populations. African Development Center also received $173,125 in 2023 for the same purpose. The foundation also backs entrepreneurship and small business support. National Association of Latino Asset Builders received $100,000 in 2025, while Latino Business Action Network received $85,000 in 2025. Both awards fit Prosperity Now’s focus on economic opportunity for underserved communities. Tax opportunity and no-cost tax preparation are another clear theme. Under the VITA Support Fund, Prosperity Now and the Wells Fargo Foundation provide grants to certified Volunteer Income Tax Assistance programs and groups that support VITA operations. The program’s stated grant size is $5,000 to $20,000.

How Prosperity Now Gives

Prosperity Now’s typical grant size is modest relative to its largest awards: the p25 is $13,125, the median is $20,000, and the p75 is $50,000. The recent portfolio also includes a small number of very large mission-support grants, which raises the overall scale. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder, and it also makes program-related investments. Several grantees recur across years, including Pacific Community Ventures and Amalgamated Charitable Foundation Inc, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation also uses both open calls and partnership-based grant programs, including unsolicited opportunities in the RISE Challenge and VITA Support Fund.
